with medical stockings

Compression therapy

The concept of compression therapy lies on a simple and efficientmechanical principle: the application of an elastic garment around the leg.By compressing the limb with graduated compression - strong at the ankleand decreasing going up the leg - the compression stockings press the veins together and thus reduce their diameter.The diseased venous valves close again and prevent reverse flow.Blood in the veins can now flow better and faster.

It can also be prescribed to prevent venous troubles during pregnancy and long distance travel. Depending on the pathology, medical compression therapy can be applied in different forms:

socks

stockings

pantyhose

bandages

Veins

Compression

Controlled pressure

The principle of this therapy is to exert a controlled pressure on the limb.The pressure unit is the millimeter of mercury (mmHg) or the hecto Pascals (hPa). 1 mmHg = 1.33 hPa.
